Using for the first time
Before using the machine for the first time, wash all the
accessories in warm soapy water and rinse. For the best tasting
coffee the internal circuits must be flushed through at least twice.
To do this, follow the instructions in the paragraph “How to
prepare the filter coffee” without using ground coffee.
Installation

complete.
• If in doubt, do not use the appliance and seek the Customer
Service authorised by the manufacturer. See enclosed
guarantee leaflet.
• The packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.) should be
kept out of reach of children as they are a safety hazard.
• Place the appliance on a work surface far away from water taps,
basins and sources of heat.
• After positioning the appliance on the work top, leave a space
of at least 5 cm between the surfaces of the applian
ce and the
side and rear walls and at least 20 cm above the coffee maker.
•Never install the appliance in environments where the
temperature may reach 0°C or lower (the appliance may be
damaged if the water freezes).
• Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage
indicated on the appliance rating plate.
Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed socket with a
minimum current rating of 10A only.
The manufacturer may not be considered liable for possible
in
cidents caused by the failure to adequately earth the mains.
• If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance,
have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified
professional.
Setting the clock into the mains socket
Plug the appliance into the mains socket. When the coffee
machine is connected to the outlet for the first time, “0:00”
appears on the display. To set the time, press the SET CLOCK
button and keep it pressed until the correct hour is displayed, then
release the button. The time can be set at any moment.
How to prepare the filter coffee
• Open the door by pulling the handle (fig. 1) and by using the
jug pour fresh water into the water compartment up to the
level corresponding to the number of cups you want to make.
Check the water level viewer. It is recommended to use the
provided carafe as the measure, as the maximum volume of the
carafe corresponds to that of the water tank (fig. 2).
• Place the permanent filter in the filter holder (if provided) of
the paper filter in the filter holder (fig. 3).
• Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuri
ng spoon
supplied, and level evenly (fig. 4). As a general rule, use a level
measuring spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams) for each
cup (for example, 8 spoons to make 8 cups). Never exceed
the maximum quantity of 12 measures (models with glass
jug) or 10 measures (models with thermal jug) to avoid the
coffee spilling. The quantity of ground coffee used can vary
according to personal taste. Use good quality medium ground
coffee packaged for filter coffee makers.
• Close the lid and place the jug on the plate (fig. 5).
Models with thermal jug: Before placing the jug o
n the plate,
make sure the lid is closed (fig. 6).
• Models with electronic control panel: you can enhance the
flavor of your coffee by pressing the AROMA button.
This feature activates a unique brewing process, slowly releasing
water into the filter basket; saturating coffee grounds a little at
a time, extracting the best flavor and aroma from your coffee.
To activate, press the AROMA button; the light above the
button will illuminate. Press the button again to turn the
selection off. It is recommended to use the AROMA function if not
brewing a whole carafe of coffee.
Press the ON/AUTO/OFF button (fig. 7). The red light i
ndicates
that the coffee maker is in operation and the display shows
“BREW”.
• Models with single switch: Press the "ON/OFF" switch (fig.
8). The light on the button comes on to indicate that the drip
coffee maker is operating.

• The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds. It is
completely normal for the appliance to release a little
steam while the coffee is filtering.
• Models with glass jug: If you leave the ON/OFF button pressed
after percolation has finished, the plate will keep the coffee at the
ideal temperature. The unit automatically shuts off after two
hours.
• Models with thermal jug: To p o ur the coffee, turn the lid to
the position shown in (fig. 9). To completely remove the lid
from the jug, turn it to the position shown in (fig. 10).
The appliance switches automatically off after brewing cycle.
Attention: Removing the jug before all the coffee is made does
not interrupt production of the coffee, but merely blocks flow
into the jug. If you want to pour out a little coffee
immediately, you are recommended to do so as rapidly as
possible in order to avoid the coffee overflowing in the filter
holder.
Programming the automatic start (models with electronic
control panel only)
Make sure that the time is set correctly.
To program the time to start coffee preparation:
• Press the SET TIMER button and keep it pressed until you reach
the desired switch-on time.
•Then release the SET TIMER button. The time will flash for a few
seconds until set: then the display will show the current hour.
Activating the timer
After you have:
- Set the time for switch-on as described in the previous section;
- Prepare the machine for making coffee. Press the
ON/AUTO/OFF button twice (fig. 11). The ON/AUTO
indicator light changes to green indicating the coffee m
aker is
in operation: the display shows AUTO.
Cleaning and maintenance

the machine off, unplug it from the power socket and allow it to
cool down.
1. When cleaning the coffee maker, do not use solvents or
abrasive detergents. A soft, damp cloth is sufficient.
